ON THE ROBUST CONTROL DESIGN FOR A CLASS OF NONLINEARLY AFFINE CONTROL SYSTEMS: THE ATTRACTIVE ELLIPSOID APPROACH

摘要

This paper is devoted to a problem of robust control design for a class of continuous-time dynamic systems with bounded uncertainties. We study a family of nonlinearly afflne control systems and develop a computational extension of the conventional invariant ellipsoid techniques. The obtained method can be considered as a powerful numerical approach that makes it possible to design a concrete stabilizing control strategies for the resulting closed-loop systems. The design procedure for this feedback-type control is based on the classic Lyapunov-type stability analysis of invariant sets for the given dynamic system. We study the necessary theoretic basis and propose a computational algorithm that guarantee some minimality properties of the sta-bility/attractivity regions for dynamic systems under consideration. The complete solution procedure contains an auxiliary LMI-constrained optimization problem. The effectiveness of the proposed robust control design is illustrated by a numerical example.
